My phone has been buzzing with genealogy questions today. People are wanting to either connect with living family or wanting to learn about their ancestors. What is bringing this on? It has been many months since this subject has come up and I have received calls for research advice. I am always happy to help with genealogy roadblocks. The researching process is wonderful and makes you stretch your mind and forces us to use our creativity. We need to find out where our ancestors have lived and by accumulating records we can begin to imagine how they lived their lives. Putting together all the pieces is much like a jigsaw puzzle. Because genealogy research is never really done it is as if the last puzzle pieces have fallen onto the floor and hidden from site. We dig, digest and accumulate. Lives are very complicated, records can be scarce.
Working on genealogy is a life-long `hobby.' Begin with good intentions and follow through on your leads.
